"National Defense runs almost entirely on Windows workstations, including "high-side" or classified networks."

Windows is "military-grade". That's a laugh.

In case of doubt I am referring to the US practice of marketing certain products as "military-grade". Perhaps to suggest something like, "If it is good enough for the military, then it is surely good enough for the civilian."

On the inside, the term of art for things like Windows is COTS - Commercial, Off-the-shelf.

In some fields, all outside software (including well-known vendors) is called SOUP - software of unknown provenance.

Yeah, the "military-grade" products I am comparing to are manufactured according to a specification provided by the customer, not COTS. Bad comparison.

The military does produce innovations that benefit civilians though. Food products would be one thing. GPS is another.
